I am new to Xcode and objective C so the problem I have hit may be a simple one but I haven't been able to find an answer yet so thanks for any help you can give.
I am trying to write a simple app that takes a picture from the camera and displays it in a UIImageView. This all works fine if the UIImageView control is just placed in the UIView control (using the interface builder). The code I use to set the image to the control is
[self.imageViewOSFCorner setImage:image];
However I need to display several images an wanted the user to be able to scroll up and down the page. So I created a UIScrollView in the interface builder that is the size I need and placed all the controls in that. Then in the viewDidLoad method I placed the following code to display the UIScrollView
self.scrollView.contentSize = self.scrollView.frame.size;
self.scrollView.frame = self.view.frame;
[self.view addSubview:self.scrollView];
This works in that you can now scroll the page and see all of the UIImageView controls, and when I press the button it launches the camera, but now after taking the picture it doesn't display the image into the UIImageView. If I take the UIScrollView away it works again (but obviously doesn't scroll) - I am guessing I am doing something silly, is there a function I need to call to update the UIScrollView?
As an aside I originally tried to use the code
self.imageViewOSFCorner.image = image;
to display the image but this wouldn't display the image and had to use
[self.imageViewOSFCorner setImage:image];
can someone tell me why the first method didn't work?
Thanks

May be useful：
self.scrollView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width*num,view.frame.size.hight );
num is your number of all image
Ok it is working now, I must have done something stupid when creating the controls into the UIScrollView since I have started from scratch again in the interface builder and now it all works.

I'm wondering if you can help me.
Basically we have a set of 16 images,
ImageA.png
ImageB.png ect ect...
That need to be shown by selecting it from a "Menu".
I want it to work like a split view controller, but I don't want to limit the width of the screen by having the navigation bar at the side, as the app must run in Landscape mode.
Here is the screenshots of what I have come up with instead of the SplitView;

The image is in a UIImageView,
And I have added a PopOver to the button that is linked to the UITableView.
What I want, is to be able to select an image from the PopOver Navigation, and it will change the image in the UIImageView to the corresponding.
Sorry if I haven't explained myself enough... I'm new to XCode!
Also: I am using XCode in Storyboard mode;

To make the master view not be static on the side, implement this method in your UISplitViewControllerDelegate:
- (BOOL)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc shouldHideViewController:(UIViewController *)vc inOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
return YES from this method, and the split view controller will behave the same way in landscape as it does in portrait
I have a toolBarItem which calls a save action on a database. I would really much like to change the image of the item (a cabinet) dynamically so that a drawer opens, a label is animated "inside" and then it closes. Very much like the trash item on the mail app animation.
I know how to make a UIView pop-up by scaling it up and down on an animation on a given times given in an array (together with an array of CT scale), so I'm guessing it could be done more or less the same way.
Does anyone know about an example of who to accomplish that?. Back on xcode 4.1 i was able to highlight the button while the label was moving, but I cannot do that anymore (somehow I did add a normal button on the toolbarItem, which I cannot do anymore).
Thanks in advance!
well, if somebody is having the same issue here is how it can be done:
- (IBAction)barButtonAction:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
NSArray *frameArray=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"01-refresh.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"02-redo.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"03-loopback.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"03-loopback.png"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"03-loopback.png"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"03-loopback.png"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"03-loopback.png"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"03-loopback.png"], nil];
self.button.image=[UIImage animatedImageWithImages:frameArray duration:10.0];
}
I have a UIViewController that has an image and label at the top followed by a UITableView. In the IB it looks perfect, but when I run the application in the simulator the UITableView is stretching and taking up the entire screen.
I've turned off all autosizing and set all of the values for stretching to 0, but it's still taking up the entire screen. I even tried some advice I saw on another post which suggested putting the UITableView in a UIView that was sized, but that did not work either.
Any suggestions on how to stop the UITableView from resizing and filling the screen? I am running XCode 4.2.1 with iOS5.
You can give frame size to your tableView like this-
1) make your tableView's IBOutlet property in .h class, and synthesize in .m class.
2) connect it in Xib.
3) than in your .m class place this code in viewDidLoad-
tblView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 30.0f, 320.0f, 50.0f); // you can give any size to your table
I am developing PDF reader. I am facing problem while rotating the simulator. What I am doing is, when view is loaded by the ViewController(i.e. in the loadView), I am creating the UIScrollView which contains UIImageView and UIView of the same size(i.e. size of the PDF page). It is working perfectly in the portrait mode. But when I rotate the simulator in the landscape mode, the view is not autoresized according to device. I have tried
self.view.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
in the viewDidLoad() of the ViewController
But it's not working. I am confused how the above two properties work. I guess these properties will autoresize the UIScrollView to the size of root view in which I am loading UIScrollView. But what should be done to autoresize the main view in which UIScrollView is loaded??
I've experienced the same problem when trying to utilise the auto resizing methods. So, I hope this will help. (P.S. I'm assuming you're creating the UI programmatically and not via IB)
So have you tried this?
Inside your viewcontroller add the following:
// Set the View Controller to fit the whole screen.
-(BOOL)wantsFullScreenLayout{
return YES;
}
Inside the loadView method amend your scrollView to:
// set the initial size of your scrollView object.
[scrollView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
// Set the auto resizing attributes.
[scrollView setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight];
In addition to this you might need to set the autoresizingmask margins for either the UIView or UIImageView depending on the type of layout you require when the device is rotated.
This is late reply... It may help if you didn't Fix it yet.
When you create any app in portraid mode and if you want it to rotate (resize) to landscape mode, you should do it in User Interface Builder or .xib (or in Storyboard iPad or iPhone)file.
So to check or to check rotate in the Simulator:
Go to "USER INTERFACE BUILDER", or ".XIB" (or "Storyboard iPad or iPhone") file.
Then select "UIImageView" and go to "SHOW THE ATTRIBUES INSPECTOR".
In the fourth tab (Attributes Inspector) set the mode to “Aspect Fit”, and in the third tab (Size Inspector) and in the fifth tab (Size Inspector) set the autosizing attributes to the following:
Set the arrows to all directions. Sorry can't load image.
Do the same for "UIView" (3).
Before you move on, you can double check that you’ve gotten all of the autosizing attributes right by selecting the Detail View Controller, and changing the orientation from Portrait to Landscape: Sorry can't load image for now...
You can Check or Change to "Landscape or Portrait" on the top right side "Simulated Metrics" select under "Size" the "Orientation".
If something isn’t right, don't worry: Just change it back to Portrait and double check the settings.
Ok, so I've created an image in Photoshop that will align with the buttons on my app, and now I'd like to make it the background image of my window so that the characters on the image will correspond to the keys on my app (a small calculator demo app I've been working on)
Basically, instead of giving buttons Text like 1,2,3,4, etc. I've made a 3x3 map with numbers of a different font just because it will look pretty
What I'm having difficulty with now is that I can't seem to make the image the background of my window.
I created an NSImageView and I dragged the image file onto it, so I can see it now, but I can't make it the background.
Do I need to subclass the NSImageView or is there some simple method?
I'm using XCode 4, btw
Thanks!
I think you should be able to do something like:
[window setBackgroundColor:[NSColor colorWithPatternImage:[NSImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"]]];
This is something that a layer-backed window would be good at:
[[window contentView] setWantsLayer:YES];
[[window contentView] layer].contents = myImage;
I think you stand a better chance of getting this to resize sensibly (assuming you need to) than with a pattern color.
Just to give you more options -- you should be able to [window setContentView:myImageView]. In the .xib file you'd want to add your buttons etc. as subviews of the image view.
I don't necessarily recommend this approach, but it's something to think about.
